Day 1 - Southampton

Arrive: Wed 16 August 2028 / Depart: Wed 16 August 2028 at 19:00

Sail into this vibrant quay with enough shops and entertainment to form its own village. Modern and lively, this coastal town bustles with waterfront restaurants, heritage charm, bars, cinemas and offers great access to other spots in the South of England. Sit back and drift through heavenly countryside to ancient Stonehenge, see if the King is at home in Windsor, learn secrets from the Bombay Sapphire gin distillery or slip up to London for some rich British culture. Then enjoy a cup of tea as you reflect on formal traditions, perfect your cockney accent and recall England’s green and pleasant lands.

The Eire Force is strong along the Wild Atlantic Way. Scout the filming sites of Star Wars movies on the rugged cape of Mailin Head. Taste the legends of Donegal County in gin and whiskey at Sliabh Liag Distillery. Take a swing at the two courses at Ballyliffin, which golfing superstar Rory McIIroy proclaims, “are must-play championship links”. Step back in time at Grianan of Aileach, a massive man-made stone ring fort and one of Gaelic Ireland’s royal sites. Go with the flow along the Lough Foyle to the bold Greencastle, built in 1305 by the Earl of Ulster. Or delver deeper into nearby Derry to see how its “Troubles” have eased into a vibrant and beautiful community. And never forget, “Go mbeidh an fórsa leat” or “May the force be with you”!

Explore the majestic horseshoe bay of the Scottish seafood capital. Built around a former distillery, you'll discover the town's trade history, homemade chocolate, a bustling seafront, small galleries before embarking on a blended malt whisky tasting. Stroll to forests, beaches, colourful villages, Inveraray Castle and the romantic harbour. Inhale aromas of salty sea air as you view an array of wildlife over the misty peaks of nearby Mull and Kerrera. And as your time in this magical sanctuary nears an end, sit back and let the best quality seafood in the country cast another spell over you.

Day 8 - Greenock

Arrive: Wed 23 August 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Wed 23 August 2028 at 19:00

Arrive in style to the haunting hum of a piper. Bursting with colourful character and a cutting-edge arts scene, this vibrant city merges history and heritage with architecture and design. Visit Medieval spires, Victorian gems, Art Nouveau icons at art galleries and the museum at Kelvingrove. Set forth out of town to experience mythical landscapes; romantic yet rugged countryside where glacial lochs rest, small islands skirt and wildlife runs free. Known for courage, Glaswegians welcome with wee tales of clans, kilts and crests.
